Most
football players would be satisfied rushing for 300 yards in
a game just once in their career. Ian Humphrey decided to go
for two such games. In breaking his personal record set earlier
in the season against Bath, Ian rushed for 320 yards and scored
three touchdowns. These yards would come against a tough HF-L
defense as LeRoy posted their eighth victory of the season without
a loss, 35-9. This game was a lot closer than the score indicates
as the Knights wore down the Cougar defense, putting up 22 points
in the 4th quarter.

Taking the opening kickoff, the Knights faced a 4th-and-1 from
their 40. Travis Fenstermaker hit Kory Cosimeno in the flats
for 7 yards to move the chains. Later in the drive, HF-L stops
Ian Humphrey for no gain on 4th down, stopping the LR drive.

Three plays later, Jamie Storms recovers an HF-L fumble, giving
the Jr. Knights excellent field position at their 45. Immediately,
Ian Humhprey picks up 11 on 1st down. On 2nd-and-10, Mike Humphrey
makes one of his many spectacular grabs of the night. Outleaping
his opponent, Mike hauls in the 15 yarder from Fenstermaker.
Not to be outdone by his brother, Ian runs for 17 yards down
to the HF-L 12. Following 4 more touches by the Humphrey brothers,
Greg Elmore bulls his way in from 1 yard out for the LeRoy TD.
Fenstermaker kicks the PAT. LeRoy 7-0 with 52 ticks left in
the 1st quarter.

The Knights' defense forces a 3-and-out. Mike Humphrey`s 18-yard
punt return takes the ball into
Cougar territory at the 45. Reaching the 24, the Knights are
stopped on a 4th-and-4 with another drive ending on downs.

On 3rd-and-2 for the host Cougars, LeRoy's Josh Risewick breaks
up the pass forcing another 3-and-out. Mike Humphrey returns
the Cougar punt for 22 yards to give the Knights good field
position at the HF-L 44.

On 2nd down, Ian Humphrey runs 31 yards down to the HF-L 9 setting
up a 1st-and-goal. Two Elmore runs moves the pigskin to the
one. The Cougar defense makes another stand, stopping Fenstermaker
and Humphrey on successive plays for no gain.

With 4:35 left in the 1st half, the Knights needed to force
another HF-L 3-and-out to get the ball back in good field position,
but the Cougar offense started to move the ball. Facing a 3rd-and-3
from the 8, the HF-L QB completes a 4-yard pass for the 1st
down. Two more 1st downs out to the 44 and all of a sudden the
Cougars were thinking about notching a score before the half,
instead of running out the clock. Mike Humphrey and Kory Cosimeno
break up passes before Elmore stops the runner for a 3-yard
loss. Mike Humphrey fields the Cougar punt as the clock runs
out, ending the 1st half.

Knowing the Cougars gained confidence with their last drive,
LR looks to shut down the HF-L offense quickly and force a punt
at the start of the 2nd half. Ian Humphrey drops the HF-L ball
carrier for an 8-yard loss on 1st down. Jourdain Holly stops
the pass completion for only one yard on 2nd down. Elmore shows
his pass coverage ability, breaking up the pass on 3rd. Mike
Humphrey fields his 4th punt for 19 yards, taking the ball to
the HF-L 47.

After 2 Ian Humphrey runs gain 10 yards and a new set of downs,
LR commits a holding penalty pushing the football back 10 yards.
On 2nd-and-21 from the 48, Fenstermaker throws the ball long
toward the HF-L end zone. The Cougar cornerback comes over and
tips the pass, but incredible poise and concentration allows
Mike Humphrey to catch the deflected ball for the LeRoy TD.
The PAT fails, but LeRoy is up 13-0 just 3:38 into the 3rd quarter.

HF-L earns back-to-back runs of 34 and 20 to move the ball down
to the LR 15-yard line. Josh Risewick made solo score-preventing
tackles on both plays. Elmore, Ian Humphrey, Cosimeno, and Storms
rise up, allowing only 3 yards on the next 3 Cougar plays. HF-L
kicks a 29-yard FG to remove their goose egg from the scoreboard.
It is now 13-3 in favor of the Knights.

HF-L fakes the onside kick, booting the ball deep to the LeRoy
one. Ian Humphrey fields the ball, but is stopped at the 4.
Ian promptly runs for 23 yards, giving the LeRoy offense some
much needed breathing room. Needing a breather, Ian exits the
game. Elmore and Cosimeno carry the ball the next 5 plays out
to Cougar 47. Ian reenters the game and picks up 13 big yards.
A holding penalty backs up the Knights 10 yards. Facing 3rd-and-14,
Mike Humphrey makes another big play. Falling to the ground
with great concentration, Mike catches a tipped pass for 31
yards to the HF-L 7. Ian runs it right in for the TD as well
as the PAT to push the score to 21-3 in favor of the Knights.
The scoring drive covered 96 yards in 13 plays.

On their next drive, HF-L reaches the Knights' 29 before Risewick
breaks up the Cougar pass on 4th and 7. With 4:03 left in the
game, LeRoy displays another smash-mouth drive. The offensive
line provided excellent push as the visitors drove 71 yards
in 9 plays for the score. Ian Humphrey carried 8 times for 65
yards, culminating in a 6-yard TD run. Fenstermaker kicks the
PAT for a 28-3 LeRoy lead.

HF-L shows no quit and drives the ball in 5 plays for a TD.
The HF-L QB is effective, going 3-of-4 for 59 yards. All 3 pass
receptions went to the same wideout. The pass for the PAT fails.
LR 28-9.

Ian Humphrey notched his final yardage total by virtue of his
last score of the night, a beautiful 67-yard streak to the HF-L
end zone. Fenstermaker added the PAT to make the final LeRoy
35, HF-L 9.

Just the remaining game with York on Thursday evening separates
the Jr. Knights from a perfect 9-0 season. Be sure to brave
the weather to watch the last 2005 game of this talented and
entertaining squad.

as Ian Humphrey ran it in from 45 yards for the score. Fenstermaker

Avon gets excellent field position at their 46 after a short

to keep the chains moving. On 2nd down, Jamie Storms storms
into the backfield and sacks the QB for an 8-yard loss. Kory
Cosimeno nails the runner for a 2-yard loss, forcing the 3rd

for the Braves. Starting on the Avon 45, LeRoy starts their
final drive of the 1st half. Travis Hurd picks up 14 yards on
2 carries. Alexander picks up 6 and 10 down to the Avon 20.
Two more carries by Hurd takes the ball to the 8. Enter John

Nathan Larson and Alex Cardenas string out the Avon runner for
a one-yard loss. Facing 4th-and-6, the Avon receiver turns a
9-yard catch into a TD run for 59 yards. The pass for the PAT
is successful, LR 46-14.

On LR`s next series Travis Hurd cuts to the left, speeding along
for 64 yards before being caught at the one. Avon showing no
quit, stops the Knights on 4 successive running plays, ending
the LR drive at the one.

On the 1st play Avon completes a pass for 31 yards for some
much needed breathing room. Larson and Wycoff chase down the
Avon receiver or it would have been a much bigger gain. The
Knights' defense then stiffens. Cardenas tips the pass at the
line of scrimmage on 1st, Justin Pursel and Brock Pasquale drop
the runner for a 2-yard loss on 2nd, Evan Calmes sacks the QB
for a 4-yard loss on 3rd, and an incomplete pass on 4th down
ends the final Avon series. LeRoy runs out the clock.

LeRoy improves to 7-0. Next up is a road trip to HF-L on October
20th. Last year HFL came into LeRoy undefeated and left with
a loss. The Cougars will be looking for payback.

The
JV Knights traveled to Dansville for a rare Wednesday game.
The temperature topped the 80 degree mark on this beautiful
October day. Team owner Don Pangrazio made sure there was lots
of water and Gatorade on the sidelines for the Jr. Knights.
After 2 big victories over Cal-Mum and Hornell it remained to
be seen if Coach Brad Dietsch could keep the team focused and
not suffer a letdown.

run to the 21. Three plays later Elmore runs in from the 14
for the LeRoy score to push the lead to 27-0 after the unsuccessful
PAT.

Dansville finally hits paydirt on their 4th possession. Needing
9 plays, the Mustang QB throws a 24-yard
TD pass. The PAT kick is good to cut the LeRoy lead to 27-7.
During the drive Dansville converts 3 third downs while the
QB goes 3-for-3 for 49 yards.

LeRoy's next possession could be called the 'Humphrey' drive.

GAME
5 - HORNELL vs. LEROY

Thursday,
September 29, 2005 (05:30 PM)
League game at Hartwood Park, LeRoy NY

After
their come from behind victory over Cal-Mum, the JV Knights
faced another top flight program from Hornell. Taking the field
the LR squad was looking to break a 3-year losing streak against
the Red Raiders. This game was close for just over a quarter
before the Knights scored 21 points in 1:21 to put the game
away. The defense came away with 4 interceptions and 2 fumble
recoveries to spur the victory. The 2nd half saw the Jr. Knights
dominate the action as the Hornell squad could run only 11 plays
for a total 2nd half possession of just 5 minutes.

For the first time all year LR won the coin toss and kicked
off. The Red Raiders come out controlling the line of scrimmage.
After a 35 yd run, Hornell has a 1st-and-10 at the LR 14. On
4th-and-5, LR's Chris Locke bats down the pass at the line of
scrimmage. Five plays later the Knights fumble the ball away
at their own 31 giving the Jr. Raiders excellent field position.

LR has many playmakers on this squad and Travis Fenstermaker
intercepts the pass on 3rd down to end the Red Raider drive.
On 2nd-and-7 Fenstermaker makes a Michael Vick-like run, scrambling
out of the pocket for 42 yards down to the Raider 28. Ian Humphrey
is stopped for losses on successive plays leading to 3rd-and-16.
Stepping up was another playmaker as Mike Humphrey makes a diving
30 yd grab from Fenstermaker to keep the LR drive alive. Ian
Humphrey punches in for the LR score from the 4. Fenstermaker
kicks the extra point, making it 7-0 in favor of the locals.
Starting at the LR 36, Joe Carubia stops the Hornell runner,forcing
the fumble. Fenstermaker picks up the loose ball and races in
from the 34 for the TD. Travis kicks the extra point to put
the Jr. Knights up by a tally of 14-0.

Special teams comes into play. LR's Steve Smith boots the ball
down to the 10 and excellent coverage pins the Raiders at their
14. On first down Josh Casper recovers another Hornell fumble.
On the very next play Ian Humphrey bursts up the middle for
the 14 yd TD run. Fenstermaker kicks the extra point, making
it 21-0 LeRoy. In little less than a minute and a half the Knights
have put 21 points on the scoreboard through their
defense, offense, and special teams.

Later in the quarter, Hornell starts on their own 14. On 3rd-and-7
the Red Raiders completed a 63 yd pass play and Josh Risewick
chases down the receiver, saving the touchdown. Facing a 4th-and-9
Jamie Storms very smartly reads the Hornell screen pass and
showing receiver-like hands intercepts the pass, moving the
ball 5 yds up the field.

Following a LR punt, Hornell starts their final drive of the
first half at their 43. The Red Raiders drove to the LR 18 with
4 ticks left on the clock, but Fenstermaker ends the first half
intercepting the Hornell pass.

LeRoy fumbled the ball away on their 2nd possession of the 3rd
quarter, giving Hornell great field position at the 9. Another
Knight playmaker steps up. Kory Cosimeno intercepts the Raider
pass at the 6 and returns it 11 yds to the 17. The Knights drive
10 plays before giving the ball over on downs on their own 38.
With excellent field position, the Red Raiders go 3-and-out,
punting the ball down to the 10.

LR some much needed breathing room. Following a LR penalty,
Kory Cosimeno has runs of 7, 4, 30, and 13 yards, moving the
ball to the Hornell 29. Elmore punishes the defense on the next
2 carries totaling 12 yds. Cosimeno's next carry gains 11 yds.
Four plays later Elmore goes in from the one as time expires
giving the Knights their final margin of victory 27-0. The drive
took 14 plays, lasting the final 7:08 of the game. The offensive
line of Joe Carubia, Jordan Casper, Chris Locke, Charlie Brandes,
Jamie Storms along with receivers Josh Risewick, Mike Humphrey
and Chris Andrews provided outstanding blocking on the drive.

The victory gives the JV Knights a 5-0 record. Next up is a
Wednesday game in Dansville at 5:30 PM.

CAL-MUM vs. LEROY GAME PICS

GAME
4 - CAL-MUM vs. LEROY

Thursday,
September 22, 2005 (05:30 PM)
League game at Hamilton Field, Caledonia NY

After
three lopsided wins it remained to be seen how the Junior Knights
would respond to adversity. Facing archrival and undefeated
Cal-Mum this game resembled a heavyweight title fight. Unlike
a wobbly Mike Tyson, the Knights got off the canvas, fighting
for a heart thumping 21-14 victory.

Losing the coin toss for the 4th straight game, LR receives
the ball first, going 3-and-out. After a fine punt return, CM
starts at the LR 29. On 1st down going for it all, Josh Risewick
intercepts the pass at the 7 ending the CM drive.

In poor field position, 3 straight running plays net 9 yds.
On 4th and 1, Travis Fenstermaker punts the ball away. A very
good CM punt return is negated by a penalty, but still puts
the ball in LR territory at the 45.

CM kept the ball on the ground driving to the LR 13. Facing
a 1st-and-10, the Knights defense stiffens holding the Red Raiders
on downs at the 13. In particular, the LR secondary led by Josh
Risewick and Mike Humphrey broke up passes on 3rd and 4th downs.

In poor field position again, LR goes 3-and-out and punts the
ball away. Starting on LR's side of field at the 46, CM runners
start to punish the Jr. Knights defense. Needing only 7 plays,
CM's John Marozzi scores on a sweet 12 yd run. The run for PAT
fails - CM 6-0. Marozzi picks up 35 yds on 4 attempts in the
drive.

On their 4th possession starting at their own 29, LR loses 3
yds on the drive. Punting after another dismal 3-and-out, CM
receives the ball at their 49.

Red Raider running backs are gaining strength, bouncing off
Knight defenders picking up extra yards. Marozzi bulls up the
middle for a 9 yd TD run to cap the drive. The run for the PAT
is good - CM 14-0.

Gaining just 2 yds of total offense on 4 possessions of 3-and-out,
the Knights were down for the count. But like all good boxers
they rose off the canvas.

Ian Humphrey returned the kickoff to the LR 40, the best drive
start of the game for the Knights. Facing a 2nd-and-14 LR QB
Travis Fenstermaker completes a 11 yarder to Greg Elmore. Humphrey
picks up 12 for the FD. After a LR penalty, Fenstermaker scrambles
out of the pocket for 18 yds. Three plays later, facing a 4th-and-2,
Ian picks up 2 tough yards to keep the LR drive alive. On 3rd-and-7
from the 15, Ian picks up 10 to the CM 5. Fenstermaker dives
in from the one yd out for the LR score. Travis kicks the PAT
and the CM lead is now 14-7. A classic LR drive: 60 yds in 13
plays using 6:22 off the clock.

Coming out for the 2nd half, the Knights defense needed to hold
or come up with a turnover. On 3rd down Mike Humphrey intercepts
the ball, returning it 13 yds to the CM 36.

Ian Humphrey carries the ball 6 straight plays to the CM 8.
Needing a breather, Ian leaves the game and Kory Cosimeno picks
up the final 8 yds on 2 rushes for the LeRoy TD,the last a 5
yarder. Fenstermaker kicks the PAT, and the game is tied at
14.

Starting from their own 49, CM's Marozzi rips off a 14-yarder.
Mike Humphrey makes the tackle in the secondary, saving a possible
CM TD. The next 3 plays Marozzi gains only 2 yds due to the
fine tackling of Charlie Brandes, Jourdain Holly, Greg Elmore,
and Ian Humphrey. Staring at a 4th-and-8 from the LR 35, the
Red Raiders decide to go for it. Chris
Andrews recovers the CM fumble in the backfield to end the drive
for the hosts.

Momentum has shifted to the Knights. After a 7 yd loss on 1st
down, Ian Humphrey makes a spectacular 60 yd run, weaving in
and out of defenders to the CM 11. A face mask penalty pushes
the ball to the 6. On 4th-and-goal from the 1, Ian drags the
CM defender into the end zone for the score. Fenstermaker kicks
the PAT. The Knights take their first lead at 21-14 with 1:41
left in the 3rd.

On the ensuing kickoff, the LR kickoff team creates a turnover.
Chris Andrews hits the CM runner, forcing the fumble. Fenstermaker
pounces on the ball giving LR possession at the CM 42. A LR
turnover gives the ball back 3 plays later. Just 2 plays later,
Kory Cosimeno recovers a CM fumble to end the 3rd quarter.

Sensing a touchdown could put this game away, the CM defense
rises to the occasion. Sacking
Fenstermaker on 2nd down gives the Knights a long 3rd-and-27.
Following an Elmore run, LR punts the ball away.

After picking up just one first down the Red Raiders punt the
ball back to the Knights. The Raider D again steps it up a notch
to force a LR punt and one more drive for a potential game-winning
drive.

The Raiders start at their own 45 with 4:00 left. Marozzi converts
a 3rd-and-2 2 for a 7-yarder to put the ball at the LR 40. After
a run of 2 yds, a costly LR face mask penalty takes the ball
to the 23. On 2nd down CM completes the pass and LR's Mike Humphrey
makes the tackle at the 6, preventing the Raider TD.

1:41 remaining - CM has 1st and goal at the 6. Greg Elmore stops
the CM runner after a gain of 2.
On 2nd down, Joe Carubia and Josh Risewick make the stop after
another gain of 2. CM calls their final timeout with 47 seconds
remaining in the game. Third down sees Elmore and Andrews hold
the runner to a 1 yd gain, forcing the CM offense to hurry to
the line of scrimmage. The Raider QB spots his receiver open
in the end zone, but Josh Risewick closes fast and breaks up
the pass, ending the drive.

LeRoy now stands at 4-0. Next up is a home encounter on Sept.
29th against always tough Hornell.

GAME
3 - LIVONIA vs. LEROY

Thursday,
September 15, 2005 (05:30 PM)
League game at Saunders Field, Livonia NY

On
Sept. 15th the JV Knights made their first road trip of the season
to Saunders Field in Livonia. Following a 300 yd performance the
previous week, would LR's Ian Humphrey have a letdown? Could the
team score at least 30 points again? Can this team keep playing
at a high level? Well, the Jr. Oatkan Knights put up 41 points
in the first half and cruised to the 41-0 victory. As for Ian
Humphrey, he again had a stellar game, rushing for 198 yds.

For the 3rd straight week LR loses the coin toss and receives
the ball first. The Knights need only 3 plays to score. It is
Ian running it in from 31 yds out. Travis Fenstermaker kicks the
extra point. LR 7-0.

On the ensuing kickoff Greg Elmore strips the ball from the Livonia
kick returner and races 36 yds for the score. Fenstermaker kicks
the PAT. LR 14-0.

On the Knights 2nd possession Elmore shows fine receiving skills,
catching the ball out of the backfield for 25 yds. To close out
this drive Ian runs the final 38 yds for the score. Fenstermaker
kicks the PAT for a 21-0 LR lead.

After an exchange of turnovers, Livonia is forced to punt. Just
as in the previous week, the Bulldogs touch the punted ball thinking
it was blown dead, but again Ian alertly picks up the ball and
dashes 59 yds for the LR TD. Fenstermaker makes it 4-for-4 in
PATS. LR 28-0. Mind you, there is still 3:50 left in the 1st quarter.

Livonia manages to drive to the LR 41. Facing a 3rd-and-2, the
Knights defense stiffens as Elmore and then Ian Humphrey tackle
the Bulldog runners for consecutive 3 yd losses ending the drive.

With 5:09 left in the 1st half, the Knights mount their last drive
of the half. Kory Cosimeno is the featured back, carrying the
ball 6 times for 32 yds. Kory bulls in from 3 yds out for the
score with 11 ticks left on the clock. Fenstermaker kicks the
PAT for a LR 41-0 halftime lead.

Livonia comes out for the 2nd half and drives 14 plays to the
LR 6. Facing a 4th-and-3, Josh Risewick breaks up the pass in
the end zone ending the Bulldog drive. Later in the quarter, Ben
Hilton pounces on a fumble to end another Livonia drive. Both
teams trade drives to end the game. Travis Hurd and Mike Humphrey
become the primary ball carriers in the second half as LeRoy gets
all of their players into the game.

Next up is arch-rival Cal-Mum next Thursday evening away in Caledonia.

Game
start time: 9:00 AM; Game length: 2:18; Attendance: 825

On
another beautiful fall Saturday morning, the Jr. Knights hosted
the Bath Rams. This game would belong to Ian Humphrey, rushing
for 300 yards on just 12 carries scoring 7 TDs. One of the 7 TDs
included a 59 yd punt return for a TD. This was definitely a game
Ian will be able to tell his kids and grandkids about years from
now. Not to be lost was the notion that Kory Cosimeno rushed for
106 yds.

First play for LeRoy, Ian scampers 65 yds for a TD. Travis Fenstermaker
to Chris Andrews for the PAT gives LR a 8-0 lead.

Following a Bath turnover, Ian finishes a 5-play drive going in
from the 14. PAT no good. LR 14-0.

Forcing a 3-and-out, the Rams punt the ball, but only touch the
ball thinking they had downed it. Very alertly Ian picks up the
ball and races down the sideline for a 54 yd punt return for a
TD. Kick is good. LR 20-0.

Bath is stopped again and the punter kicks the ball into his own
teammates back. Andrews picks up the loose ball, returning it
15 yds to the LR 25. Two plays later, Ian runs it in from the
7 for his 4th TD of the game. Kick is good, LR 27-0. There is
still 1:20 left in the 1st quarter.

After another 3-and-out, Bath punts the ball. Needing only one
play, Ian runs 70 yds for the TD. Kick no good, LR 33-0.

After another Bath turnover, LR takes 2 plays to score. Ian darts
in from 36 yds out and with the PAT good, the Knights lead 40-0.
Ian has 5 rushing touchdowns at this point of the game.

Ian quickly answers in one play from 54 yds out. Kick no good.
LR 46-13.

Following a Bath punt, Ian carries one more time for 2 yds before
leaving the game for good with 8:39 left in the 3rd quarter. Two
plays later, Kory Cosimeno races down the sideline for 83 yds
and the TD. Kick no good, giving the Knights a 52-13 lead, the
final margin of victory.

Several fine performances turned in for the final quarter and
half by Travis Hurd carrying the ball 17 times, John Kelso and
Justin Pursel recovering fumbles, plus Don Pangrazio and Mike
Humphrey intercepting passes.

The
LeRoy JVs opened the season on a bright sunny autumn morning determined
to duplicate the Varsity's outcome from the night before. BEAT BATAVIA.

Ian Humphrey took the opening kickoff for 23 yds to the LR 43. A
late hit out of bounds tacks on another 15 and LR starts on the
Batavia 42. I. Humphrey carries all 4 times in the drive, culminating
in a 27 yd run. Pass fails for PAT and LR leads 6-0.

Jamie Storms stuffs the Batavia runner for a 3 yd loss on the first
play of Devils' drive. Three-and- out and LR gets the ball back.
Starting at their own 11, 3 consecutive runs by Ian moves the ball
to the 31. Greg Elmore gets into the picture, pounding the ball
for a gain of 9. QB Travis Fenstermaker shows off his arm, completing
a pass of 21 yds to Kory Cosimeno. After moving down the field,
the Knights are faced with a 3rd-and-goal from the 14. Fenstermaker
completes a TD pass to Josh Risewick. Ian runs in the PAT for a
LR 14-0 lead. The drive took 17 plays, but there were 3 LR penalties.

Batavia goes 3-and-out again. Jourdain Holly stuffs the runner for
a 1 yd loss on 3rd down. Mike Humphrey's 25 yd punt return gives
LR excellent field position at the Blue Devils 47. Taking 10 plays,
LR scores to go up 20-0. The pass for the PAT fails. Key plays on
the drive:4th and 5 from the 28 - Fenstermaker completes a 10 yarder
to Josh Risewick and 4th and 7 from the 15 - Travis throws a 15
yd strike to Mike Humphrey for the TD. Six different players touched
the ball in this drive.

Batavia's 3rd series did not fare much better, and again the Devils
go 3-and-out. Big plays for the Knights defense were Charlie Brandes
stuffing the runner for a 1 yd loss and Chris Andrews sacking the
QB on 3rd down for a loss of 9. Mike Humphrey returns the punt for
a gain of 12 yds.

Ian Humphrey immediately rips off a run for 20. Several plays later,
Travis completes a pass for 14 yds to Greg Elmore down to the 11.
The Batavia defense stiffens, throwing Ian for a 9 yd loss and then
sacking Travis for 7. Facing a 4th-and-26 Travis throws an incomplete
pass into the end zone. The first half ends with Batavia taking
a knee.

Starting the 3rd quarter, Batavia is faced with a 4th-and-one at
their own 39. Greg Elmore blocks the punt and Chris Andrews falls
on the ball giving the Knights excellent field position on the 33.

Seven plays later, Fenstermaker goes over from the one to score.
The kick for the PAT failed. LR 26-0.
During the drive Ian Humphrey carried 4 times for 17 yds, including
a 11 yd pickup to the one and Greg Elmore notched 2 carries for
10 yds total.

Batavia's next drive starts off promising with a completion for
5, but Ian sacks the QB on consecutive downs forcing a punt. Mike
H. again fields the punt for a gain of 7. Two straight Elmore runs
produce a 1st down. After a loss on 1st, Travis completes a screen
pass to Ian for a 25 yd scamper. Elmore then shows good speed to
go along with power for a 30 yd TD run. The Kick fails for a LR
32-0 lead in the 4th.

Batavia has 2 more possessions in the 4th quarter, but would not
pick up a first down and be forced to punt. Several different LR
players made appearances in final stanza, such as Travis Hurd 8
attempts 19 yds, John Scheuing 1-3, and Andrew Alexander 2-1. Jordan
Kosiorek and Alex Cardenas stopped the Batavia runner for a loss
of 5. Ben Hilton, Justin Pursel, Travis Pangrazio, and Joe Schwab
were all credited with tackles and fine play.
